There might be an 64bit->32bit bug in the ctypes module of python. I'm investigating a bug where a python app does:
xlib = ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary( 'libX11.so.6') xlib_dpy = xlib.XOpenDisplay( os.environ['DISPLAY']) xlib_root = xlib.XDefaultRootWindow( xlib_dpy) On my Gentoo x86_64 machine this fails, because down in C country xlib_dpy is returned from XOpenDisplay as 64bit, when when it ends up in python country it is chopped off the higher bits and ends up being a 32bit value. Back down in C country for the next python line - since it is a pointer - XDefaultRootWindow accesses the wrong memory segment and we get a SEGV. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/694249 Title: blueman-applet crashed with SIGSEGV in Py_DecRef() -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
